Anyone knows if CX would open award econ seats last minutes? I've been on the waitlist for a while and hope to get a seat on Saigon-Hong Kong route this wkend . Should I give up hope and buy a super expensive one way or keep on waiting? Seems my chance for an award seat is very slim now

While it is possible, at these loads I don't see Y being released (there's nothing being released right now). Maybe J on or around Thursday.

I managed to snag HAN-HKG this Sunday, but in J (snagged it w Avios, Y outbound)

thank you. booked a last minutes SGN-HKG with permitted cancellation while waiting to see if any seats opened up for award redemption. fingers crossed..

onarun

another question: if I book two one way redemption tickets separately (SGN-HKG and HKG-SGN), would this count as a round trip redemption? I've seen somewhere on this thread mentioning that it would. Just want to double check.

Thank you!!

If you book both flights together and they are ticketed separately because one was waitlisted, then, in general, yes. However, you have to use miles separately and call them to refund the miles after finishing the whole trip. (At least that is the case for MPC members.)

If you booked them separately (diff PNR) - then no.

Hi Percy Smith,

First time poster here, so please be patient with me. I'm currently on wait list for full award redemption on Asia Miles, business class, 2 pax, non MPC member.

Is there a way (an app or website) to see what my chances are of these flights clearing? Or do I need to call the hotline every now and then?

Thank you in advance!

Think you know SGN-HKG has opened up for both 13/2 and 14/2

Upgrade chances look very good but CX doesn't want to clear them early. Let the upgrade waitlist sit and only start looking actively two weeks before departure.

I used to only see one-seat discrepancies:

Now it's up to three flights.
Strangely QF FF can still see all the seats CX sees - it's only BAEC who cannot

It might be also be a technical limitation on BA's website where later flights of the day don't show up on the screen, which happens sometimes.

How to explain two earliest flights missing on 27/1 (CNY 2017 eve)?
